Such an iconic deli & Angel is so sweet & authentic with her clients. I can't help but try something new every visit but what keeps me coming back is tradition, every Easter for kolbasa, Ukrainian sweets & egg raps. She had these really nice bread molds so I made smaller Paskas than usual this year & they came out lovely.
A tradition to make the trek from the south shore at Easter for breads, candies, Kovbasa & all things Ukrainian. The owner is truly a sweetheart. No time for a sandwich this time so I guess I'll be back. They are amazing.
Worth every penny!

Been going there as a kid, supper happy to rediscover it now that i moved back in the area
Freshest of deli meats & all the extra stuff is of the best quality. Much better/fresher then similar stores
Best smoked meat sandwich! We searched around for the best smoked meat in Montreal & this highly rated Deli showed up. & after going, I completely understand, not only is the smoked meat delicious, the atmosphere, friendliness & heart of the deli shines through! Can't wait to come back :) Came in as strangers, left as friends.
The most charming cozy Deli with the most charming lovely lady at the counter, Angel who makes you feel right at home, all the while having the atmosphere & character that makes you feel like you're right in Kiev at the same time, I had the special of the day which was smoked meat & Hungarian sausage with cheese, a delicious charming bite perfect for any students or worker from the areas lunch break with a nice big slice of delicious homemade peach cheesecake that made me understand why the lady at the counter's name is Angel because everything I had from here brought me a little closer to heaven. Would recommend to anyone who has the chance to go & support a local family institution that's been going strong for over half a century! Slava!
Délicieux sandwichs, & que dire du cheesecake à la pêche! Le service est toujours très sympathique, même lorsque la toute petite boutique se transforme en longue file d'attente.
Pour les fans de gâteau forêt noire, on y trouve notamment des cerises griottes en conserve & fraîches congelées.
The only thing better than the sandwiches, was the customer service. Very lovely lady behind the counter. This will be a spot I stop at every time I'm in Montreal. Thanks Angel!
